Description
From 1955 on Innovations GB-1. By Otto Luening and Vladimir Ussachevsky, on Gene Bruck Enterprises Inc. GB 1. This is a 33RPM 10 inch LP. The box is a bit squashed, and two end pieces of the top is missing. (Please see the photos.) Includes the original descriptive booklet which is still very nice condition. It gives a bit of an explanation of what "tape recorder music" is. This was a new technique in the mid fifties! The first experimental electronic music! The record is VG+, and the box is VG due to the squashing and bits missing. Sort of rare.
Tracklist:
A1 Ussachevsky* Sonic Contours
A2 Luening* Fantasy In Space
B1 Luening* / Ussachevsky* Incantation
B2 Luening* Invention
B3 Luening* Low Speed
From musicianguide.com:
It was at Columbia that Luening began to fully explore his interest in electronics. In 1947 the Russian composer Vladimir Ussachevsky joined the university staff, and the two, who shared an interest in the musical possibilities of magnetic tape, began to work together. Their collaboration led to the creation of several works featuring live performers combined with recorded sounds. In their early works together, the conductors experimented with tape recordings of Luening's flute compositions.
In October of 1952 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York the duo debuted the first concert featuring electronic music. The program included Luening's Fantasy in Space--and featured Luening playing flute live with his accompaniment on tape--and Low Speed Invention, as well as Ussachevsky's Sonic Contours. The concert, conducted by Leopold Stokowski, was hailed as a sensation. Almost overnight, Luening and Ussachevsky clinched their reputation as innovative composers pioneering a new musical form. Working both alone and with Ussachevsky over the next 15 years, Luening wrote more than 20 compositions for synthesizer, tape, and acoustical instruments. In 1960 he and Ussachevsky cofounded the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, a workshop that attracted some of the most promising young American composers and students during the 1960s and 1970s.
Yet Luening did not focus exclusively on electronic music. He was a prolific composer of chamber music, and he wrote several works in a more eclectic American style.
